Langston Hughes Dream Poems

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
...

To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
...

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamer,
Bring me all your
Heart melodies
...

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
...

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
...

I take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase
and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center.
And a song with a broken heart and I ask you:
...

Good morning, daddy!
Ain't you heard
The boogie-woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred?
...
